The Rekeying Process: How Your Locks Get New Keys
Rekeying involves carefully removing the cylinder from your existing deadbolt, knob, or lever lock. Inside, a series of small pins, known as the pin stack, determines which key operates the lock. Our technician replaces these old pins with a new combination, known as the bitting, to match a brand-new key.
Once the cylinder is reassembled with the new pins, a fresh set of keys is cut on-site that will now operate the lock. Every old key for that specific lock cylinder will no longer work, providing immediate security. The lock hardware itself remains, which is more economical than full replacement.
Why Rekeying is Essential for Homeowners and Landlords
For a new homeowner in Oxon Hill, rekeying is crucial to ensure that old keys held by previous owners, contractors, or cleaners no longer grant access. This proactive step provides peace of mind and full control over who can enter your property.
Similarly, landlords with properties in Prince George's County find rekeying indispensable when a tenant moves out. Instead of the expense and waste of new locksets, rekeying allows them to secure a rental unit quickly and efficiently for the next occupant, often keying multiple doors alike for convenience.
Customizing Your Home's Keying System
Beyond simply changing the key for one lock, our rekeying service in Oxon Hill allows for comprehensive key management across your entire home. We can key-alike all exterior doors – front, back, and garage entry – so a single key can operate every main access point, eliminating a cumbersome ring of multiple keys.
We also offer services for specific systems, such as resetting SmartKey-style cylinders, which often require specialized tools. For larger residential properties or multi-unit dwellings, we can set up master key systems where certain keys can open all locks while individual keys access only specific units or rooms.
